New £7.5million hospital in Market Harborough completed - but without footpaths

NHS managers have been accused of doing a “slapdash job” after it was pointed out patients had to walk in the road to get to a new £7.5 million hospital.

Patient Mick Lawrence said he noticed the absence of footpaths from the entrance to St Luke’s Treatment Centre, in Leicester Road, Market Harborough , when he was walking to a physiotherapy appointment.

He made a formal complaint.

Lines marking pedestrian areas have now been painted along the access roads off Leicester Road.
